Upon my wife’s completion of a chili creation last week, I refrigerated the stuff for later consumption after a little sampling. The next day I took the stoneware out of the fridge and placed it on the front burner of our stove. My wife advised me not to do this and reasoned the stoneware might crack. I responded with “Show me where it says you can’t do this” and she just rolled her eyes….wouldn’t you know it as I finished spooning the last drop of chili, the bottom separated from the stoneware…
A week without a crock pot had us suffering severe withdrawal symptoms. When we were out with the kids yesterday, my dear mother in law stopped by and left a little surprise on the front steps ….. Its cooking tonight’s chicken marsala as I type this…
Hey Mike do you have that porketta recipe? I want to give that a shot. Also, how did the marsala come out?

I like my porchetta with mucho fennel seeds. My Dad also gave me fennel pollen$$$ for X-mas and it adds incredible flavor without being over the top. Mario Batali's "Simple Italian Food" also has a nice albeit labor intensive version.
Last week I made Beef Borgignone for the first time. Kind of like beef stew but no potatoes and intense flavor.Two thumbs up.

I get the porketta at whole foods and just drop it in the pot. I usually do a 2# roast in 1/2 cup white wine with spuds/carrots/onions.
Marsala was a bit watery due to overuse of chicken stock. The meat was perfect, but the shrooms came out a bit soggy.
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
